need five posts to get to community ughhhhh

[panarat203]

i really agree with you, i am in a situation where this requirement to avoid spam is hurting me more than it would ever benefit this community like who spams in 2024?

I think it forces people to atleast think before they write, stop leechers.
It's also easy for mods to delete/ban user they think is making trash posts to gain the community.

It does seem counter-productive, considering the quality of some posts in lounge after they've forced people to post for the sake of meeting the limit. Can't say for sure but I don't remember much of a spam problem before they introduced it.

I agree, currently positing to meet the post requirement even though I've got nothing to add

Interesting people think spam isn't a problem and hasn't been before. I'm sure my colleagues on this board would feel very flattered that people think this

We put the restriction to make certain sections less public. If you can't make 5 posts, then it's unlikely you're going to contribute anything meaningful to the sections you are trying to access.

The alternative is requiring Bronze, but I have a feeling people would complain a lot more about paying $15.

It's a fair requirement, especially if it actually gets rid of bots etc

I also think it sucks, but I do believe it is a necessary evil.

Yeah I agree it's better than paying £15 that's for sure
